a walk to Falmouth

The weekend before 4th of July was another lovely day. Took a long walk to Falmouth, which was about 6 miles from Woods Hole. I followed the bike path towards Trunk River. Initially it was within the woods which I really enjoyed. There's so much diversity of flora to see and the scenes on the bike path just amuse me. There's little kids trying to faster than their parents and parents teaching their little kids to roller-blade. I wish there's more bike paths like this in M'sia but as everyone M'sian I told this to would say...'ban ban siow'. The cyclist are so polite that when they wants to pass me, they'll say 'on your left/right'. It's simply wonderful.

Just before Trunk River, there's a gravel beach, which I have fallen in love with. Unlike sandy beach, I can just lie down on the gravel and dry off without having all the sand sticking to me.But I didn't have my swimsuit on that day so I just lie down and enjoy the weather. Ended up napping for about 20 minutes. Although it was nice, I would admit that it's a little hard to walk on it. But hei, people purposely add gravels to some of the gardens at the Penang Botanical Garden for health purpose. There's a mile of this here!
While walking along the beach, I came across this funny looking seaweed growing on rocks. I found a small one and wish that I could bring it back with me but I was heading towards town and didn't bring any sampling bottle with me. I look at it carefully and couldn't find any roots. Isn't that weird?
The Falmouth town is definitely a tourist town as everything is soooooooooo expensive. Every cafe that I stop by sells sandwich that are more than USD 5. Ended up getting a small scoop of ice-cream for lunch, which last me the entire day. It's huge!!!! Besides the price, it's a very 'old-fashion' town. I like the local shops there, unlike the common branded chains and fast-food chains we see in almost every town in Michigan.
